1//! The _dirs-next_ crate is
2//!
3//! - a tiny library with a minimal API (16 functions)
4//! - that provides the platform-specific, user-accessible locations
5//! - for finding and storing configuration, cache and other data
6//! - on Linux, Redox, Windows (≥ Vista) and macOS.
7//!
8//! The library provides the location of these directories by leveraging the mechanisms defined by
9//!
10//! - the [XDG base directory](https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html) and the [XDG user directory](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/) specifications on Linux,
11//! - the [Known Folder](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb776911(v=vs.85).aspx) system on Windows, and
12//! - the [Standard Directories](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010672-CH2-SW6) on macOS.

37/// Returns the path to the user's home directory.
38///
39/// The returned value depends on the operating system and is either a `Some`, containing a value from the following table, or a `None`.
40///
41/// |Platform | Value | Example |
42/// | ------- | -------------------- | -------------- |
43/// | Linux | `$HOME` | /home/alice |
44/// | macOS | `$HOME` | /Users/Alice |
45/// | Windows | `{FOLDERID_Profile}` | C:\Users\Alice |
46///
47/// ### Linux and macOS:
48///
49/// - Use `$HOME` if it is set and not empty.
50/// - If `$HOME` is not set or empty, then the function `getpwuid_r` is used to determine
51/// the home directory of the current user.
52/// - If `getpwuid_r` lacks an entry for the current user id or the home directory field is empty,
53/// then the function returns `None`.
54///
55/// ### Windows:
56///
57/// This function retrieves the user profile folder using `SHGetKnownFolderPath`.
58///
59/// All the examples on this page mentioning `$HOME` use this behavior.
60///
61/// _Note:_ This function's behavior differs from [`std::env::home_dir`],
62/// which works incorrectly on Linux, macOS and Windows.
63///
